Murphy goes deep three times in Trenton loss

Got a series of infield promotions, courtesy of JoshNorris: IF Francisco Rosario to Low-A Charleston, 2B Rob Refnsyder to High-A Tampa, and IF Ali Castillo to Double-A Trenton. All the second basemen moved up a level, basically. Hopefully that’s not bad news for 2B Angelo Gumbs, who is on the Tampa DL.

Yes or no: JR Murphy starts at least one game at catcher for the New York Yankees in 2014. GO.

JonS

No. He won’t be in the Yankees org in 2014.

Bob Buttons

Care to expand on why? (Who do you think he’s traded for?)

Travis L.

Giancarlo Stanton…straight up. (I kid)

Pat D

Gonna say no.

lightSABR

Wow–he’s having a solid year so far. .308/.413/.436. Anybody know anything about his defense?

Brett

He hitting .364/.442/.682 after tonights game.

JonS

Defense wasn’t really ever a problem.

Cool Lester Smooth

It was a significant problem until he made huge strides over the last two years. He was splitting time at 3B until he was in High-A.

trr

what?
wow!

trr

YES

and i don’t mean the Yes Network

trr

wonder why Eddard didn’t get the first comment in this thread?

Tom T

Wonder if David Adams would make more sense than Jayson Nix for the vs LHP infield role.

IRememberCelerinoSanchez

As of now, Nix is the only SS on the roster besides Nunez. Adams can’t play SS. So it wouldn’t be a like-for-like swap.

Robinson Tilapia

Could Adams even fake SS before he got injured?

Bob Buttons

Don’t ever recall him being tabbed “range-y”.

Andy In Sunny Daytona

I saw Angelo Gumbs before the game. He had his right wrist wrapped in ice. Supposedly he has a strained tendon in his wrist.

JonS

Betances is toast.

JonS

Wang will take his spot in the rotation and he’ll go to the pen.

Robinson Tilapia

Oh, it’s time.

Larch

Did they move in the walls at Trenton?

Back in the Saddle

The game was in Erie. Off shore breeze

emac2

Wow – 4,5,6 hitters go 9-15 with 6 HR and 10 RBI and we lose on an unearned run in the 9th.

Bob Buttons

Yes, totally not the starter’s fault.

Travis L.

That reminds me…wasn’t Matt Tracy good once upon a time? Wonder if he’s hurt somehow.

Preston

Another game on the struggle bus for Betances. At least he made it a little deeper into the game. Good games for Murphy, Austin and Sanchez though.

Jeety

Mason Williams 3 walks were impressive. ..

Leo

DBJ is so bad

Jamie

anyone know what Campos velocity was looking like?

Bob Buttons

Wasn’t there a game where Burnett got like four or five WP for us? (or would have been, since some of them where bases empty.)

On a side note, here’s my semi-bold prediction: Cito Culver will be a bigger prospect at the end of the year than DBJ.

I am not your broom

Last April, Sweaty Freddy threw FIVE wild pitches in 4 2/3 innings. He must have been particularly sweaty that day or something.

Manny’s BanWagon

Hopefully it turns around but it sure seems like the pitching has been shit so far this year DoTF.

Travis L.

What the hell has gotten into Medchill and Segedin?? Damn…

Robert

Saw JR Murphy last year at Trenton, was very impressed with him good defense and showed leadership on the field. Always had a good bat.

nycsportzfan

JR Murphy was always a guy we knew was a hitting prospect over defense, and its great to see him playin so well.. Man, our Farm System was flat out raking last night! I gurantee u some teams are taking notice of some of our guys right now, as Mason Williams, Jr Murphy, Gary Sanchez, Melky Mesa(don’t we need a righty bat at big level?), Zolio, Adams, Segedin, and many more are raking right now! Flat out raking!!!!

nycsportzfan

Anyone think Melk Mesa will get a call up sooner then later?

Robinson Tilapia

I think Melky Mesa gets DFAed sooner rather than later.

Monerowasdinero

Remember that Posada did not start for us until age 26.

Patience with our young catchers.

The Doctor

Still early but Sanchez seems to be making a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham of High-A ball. Hoping for a AA promotion sooner than later.

CS Yankee

Somebody needs to be brave here…

Stewie to be DFA…once cleared, goes to AAA
Romine stays at AAA…as there is no bubble wrap in the pros.
Murph’ to da bigs…plays 2-3 games per week.
Sanchez to Jersey
Cerv’… will cool down and they shouldn’t play him 5-6 times a week.
Guessing this is unlikely to happen, if at all, before June 1st.

Chief Wahoo

Dump Bobby Wilson, Murphy to AAA, Sanchez to AA

…and a little patience with Cito, I’ve watched him play all of last year and despite the errors his defense is just Sick!

shittyshittybangbang

Hey, Tilapia, what’s your deal with Mesa ?! Seems to me that not too long ago, he was being explored as a MLB option. Are your comments facetious/sarcasm ? If not, please explain the DFA and 40 man exclusion. And what are consequences of both ?
